Straw Dogs Blu-ray

Timed to coincide with the theatrical release of director Rod Lurie's remake, MGM Home Entertainment will bring the original Straw Dogs to Blu-ray this September.

While MGM has confirmed that the Blu-ray will feature a DTS-HD Master Audio track and 1080p picture quality, the studio has not announced any further technical details or supplemental features; while the Criterion Collection had a limited edition DVD of the film with many special features, there is no advance word on whether or not those bonus materials (or some newly produced ones) will accompany this new Blu-ray.

Furthermore, MGM has not specified if the Blu-ray will contain the slightly more graphic Director's Cut of Straw Dogs.
